Bush quietly seeks to make war powers permanent, by declaring indefinite state of war

What does he think this is ancient Rome? Or does everyone from Texas think their sitting bull?

Let's face it the whole PNAC thing was gross error. Israel is no friend of the USA, and the whole capitalist trip is going downhill with the wheels falling off as I type.

The facade built up by state, church and industry has some major holes in it.

dabne I read your piece, you seem very ignorant.

I think once we make "Cannibus" Legal world wide... i mean in every country on earth, i beleive all of these BS about WAR will cool down.

I dont trust the dems or gop to do anything about it so i will instead press for more political parties to make headway in the mainstream!

I FUCKING KNEW IT

As long as the GOP and cronies are in power we will always remain in a perpetual state of warfare and conflict. However, I do agree that we need to step up our efforts to once and for all kill Bin Laden and cripple the al Qaeda network. But this constant push for a police state and destruction of our civil liberties has got to stop.

Iraq Combat Vet for OBAMA 08!

Permanent war only makes since because fighting alone has never solved anything.

Think about it

Why haven't Senators Obama, Hillary Clinton, Biden and McCain and the rest of Congress stopped this?

I won't vote for anyone in the present Congress who doesn't impeach Bush, stop funding the war and immediately rescind the executive order giving the President unlimited powers to declare war and martial order.

To me this seems like a precursor to him gaining absolute power. There is an article of the Patriot Act that will allow him to suspend the elections in a state of emergency. Congress would not be allowed to review these actions for 6 months, possibly allowing him to effectively disband them before they can even dispute it.

I suggest any Conservative who decides what I say to be false to do some required reading of the Patriot Act. It's more than just warrantless wire-taps and monitoring your library activity.

Personally I'm going to do everything in my power to prevent that from happening.

The sheeple are being pacified by the so called "democratic" process currently taking place, while GWB is continually screwing the American people.

Seen or unseen, We the People, won't know about it until it's all over...

Shady "verbage" is the ground on which the loss of all our Rights has been based.

Good luck fellow Citizens.

Ride on!

If I were Bush, I think I would just spend the next few months sitting back. It's not the time for him to be trying to add to his legacy.

War is never the answer.

Terrorism increases when governments use military force against populations.

But the multinational corporations controlling the governmenta don't want peace.

The sad truth is there are billions and trillions of dollars to be made on war. Most in Congress and U.S.Government profit directly from investments in weapons manufacturing and weapons trafficking worldwide.

Don't expect these "leaders" to stop war when there is so much profit to be made from the destruction and rebuilding war brings.

The People want PEACE NOW.

Work for Peace and as Ghandi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."

Don't look for a "leader" to change the world for the better. Begin changing things yourself, every day, with the choices you make.

The only constant state this administration deserves to be granted is a state of confusion- it is a place they know well.

Come on folks haven't you learned to savor that wonderful constant at war feeling?

I think this is akin to the war on drugs. We just have to stay at war with terrorism. How about a war on poverty. It is a vehicle to allow spending at any time that something arises. I don't see it as a total suspension of habeus corpus. Unless you are one of those detained in Gitmo.

Smokescreen! GWB's goons have done it again!
"Look the other way for just a second while I slip this past all of you. Heh-heh-heh-heh. John's gonna love this."

I can't wait for this ninkompoop of a madman is out of office and prosecuter for his crimes.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

Bush quietly seeks to make war powers permanent

But somehow everybody knows about it. ROFL

And the next AIPAC president will only continue it. People need to wake the hell up. Our government is only using 'Al Qaeda" (which is an offshoot from the Muharjadeen in Afghanistan in the eighties when these same conservatives thought Bin Laden was a "freedom fighter" for helping them fight the "commie" Russians) to perpetuate perpetual war to take away our civil liberties and use fear to do it.

I am not at war with ANYONE, and am greatly disappointed that 9.11 was not used as a vehicle to actually work for peace in this world instead of this BS "war on terror." I am not bringing up my child to hate Muslims, or to tell him we are at war with them and will not do so. On 9.11.2001 as we were told, a group of men mainly from Saudi Arabia BTW, the country Bush goes to to hold hands with their sheiks, boarded planes and proceeded to attack the World Trade Center and other venues hoping that it would make us hateful towards the world and bring us down to their level. That is how terrorism thrives... it seeks to make its victims hateful and heartless as the terrorists are, and in this case cause America to fall economically. That was the plan and it seems to be working beautifully, egged on by hateful Americans and Republican brownshirts who want nothing more than to use that day as a perpetual reminder of the hatred they too feel for those different from them.

Those who attacked us supposedly died that day, and in the last seven years we have murdered thousands of innocent civilians for an empty cause, thus proving those terrorists who hijacked those planes right. How anyone can sit here and call for more of this BS only shows how hateful their hearts really are. Well I'm not falling for it, and I will never condone having to live in a police state to assuage a group of hateful, greedy, deceiving politicians who want to subjugate my mind to their ideology. And those who say we should remain in a state of war, get your asses out to your local recruiting station now, because my child is not going to be one of the casualties of this deception for YOU.

And don't then wonder why America is hated in this world and will continue to be so even should the Messiah Obama be chosen by the elitists who are really running this country from behind the scenes. If he continues this doctrine, I will fight against him just as vigourously as I have against Bush. You can bank on that.
We need our Thomas Jeffersons to now step forward!

Nice shady photo! What is this Scooby Doo?

Of course we remain at war with Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and "Associated Organizations."

"I had friends who died at ground zero, and war buddies who died fighting Al Qaeda."

And yes, it was Al Qaeda who hijacked our friends and family members and flew them into buildings. As much as you would actually like to say it was Bush who planned it, who by the way is imperfect and always making mistakes. But on 9/11 it was all Al Qaeda. Where our Government failed was to deal with Al Qaeda from 1991-2001.

We should remain in a state of war with these organizations.

He won't get a full pension from the weapon dealers unless he guarantees continued conflict.

i cant wait until this murderer is behind bars

No surprise he would do this. He tried to make a treaty with Iraq (or was it Iran) that basically said that if they need our aid in any warfare, including civil war, America would be there to help them, indefinitely.
